Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

The scorching sun in the imperial capital, accompanied by the rapidly rising temperature after the end of the summer monsoon, returned.

On the coast, the blue water beats against the sandy beach, and the white gulls hover in the sky, from time to time they make cheerful neighing sounds as they find food.

On this day, the imperial capital fell into a solemn and grand atmosphere.

A large number of troop carriers and cavalry are busy.

An army of 15 marched out of the city from Dafengmen.

Since the 21st year of Qianyuan, the largest battle has begun.

At this moment, Shen Luo was sitting on the big boat, he wanted to part with Qingchen at the entrance of Luoying Lake, go straight to the southwest, and go to the front to command the battle.

The team on the road had already set off in advance, Nie Xingfeng and Liu Er led hundreds of people to go quietly, hoping to find a way to rescue Prince Qi in advance.

The mighty fleet was smooth all the way, troop carriers and supply ships stretched endlessly, and ships across the entire river were conscripted.

Sitting on the Jinfenglou boat, Shen Luo couldn't help feeling emotional as he looked at the fleet in front and behind.

Two years ago, that ordinary boy sitting in the cabin was now the master of this great empire.

"It's windy outside, let's go back!" Qingchen came out with a cloak.

Shen Luo turned around and went in with him.

"It may take a while for me to go to the southwest. No matter what, don't worry. If Lord Asong is better, you can take him back to the imperial capital, or return to the imperial capital by yourself. I will leave it to your guards, you Wear it close to your body." Shen Luo instructed.

"I know, you've already said it several times." Long Qingchen smiled.

Shen Luo looked at him worriedly: "When you are happy, I can't be by your side, I feel very uneasy."

Long Qingchen hugged him: "You are the Holy Master, you have your own mission, and you have Shen Bai's blessing, so there is nothing to worry about. Is our child the first child of your two lifetimes?"

"Yes!" Shen Luo said, smelling the fragrance of Qingchen's body.

"That's good, I think Shen Baiyi will protect me as well." Qing Chen touched his bun and said.

Shen Luo thought for a while: "I hope this battle can completely resolve the situation between the two countries. When Shi Shi ascends the throne, I can completely let go. According to the request of the Taifu, I can also retire."

"At that time, we will take the children around, and when we have nothing to do, we will accompany Shitou, live in the imperial capital, and live in Huzhou." Long Qingchen said with a smile.

"You went to the southwest, but when you have time, go and find my uncle and my uncle's son. This is the address." Qingchen took out a piece of paper: "They have nothing to rely on, so it's hard to think about it."

Shen Luo took it: "I see, you take care of yourself, and when you come back, I have to see you fat and white, so I can feel at ease outside and know?"

"En!" Long Qingchen smiled.

"At home, don't see anyone you don't want to see. You have a different status now, so you don't need to trouble yourself." Shen Luo said.

"Yeah!" Qingchen let out a long breath: "Life is like a dream. In a blink of an eye, the emperor left. I really feel that the old man walked too fast. Otherwise, no matter what happens, he will always be on top, which makes people feel There is peace of mind above your head."

Shen Luo also sighed: "If it were me, husband and son would leave. How long can I last? Shen Bai has been strong all his life. Many people can't understand him being passionate, but even if passionate is ruthless. Because Zihuan turned gray all night, if it wasn't for Shu Yu's presence, he would have died long ago."

Long Qingchen looked at Shen Luo: "You said before, the secret that Shen Bai told you?"

"Even after you die, you have to go through the Sea of ​​Lost and the Desert of Death. No matter what, don't stop. You have to keep walking. After passing through, you will be able to reach the 'Soul Condensation Realm' controlled by Shen Bai. There, it is possible to meet the one you love." Shen Luo said: "So, Qingchen, you have to remember. If I'm not here, you must go over there, we will definitely meet there, you know? "

Long Qingchen nodded seriously: "I remember, no matter how far the journey is or how hard it is, I will go to the end, to the Soul Condensation Realm you mentioned, and meet you there."

"Well, no matter which one of us leaves first, we must remember that only when we go there can we see each other. Even if we don't see each other, you can still see Shen Baiyi." Shen Luo was worried that he would die in battle. .

"What does he look like?" Long Qingchen asked.

"The temperament is similar to mine, with a cold face and white hair." Shen Luo described.

"I remember." Qing Chen nodded.

The fleet separated at the mouth of Falling Shadow Lake.

"Tell Master Asong, no matter what, you must insist on waiting for me to come back. As soon as I come back from the southwest, I will pick him up. The carrier pigeon I gave you can communicate with me. If there is something, the priest and the guards will help you." Shen Luo ordered. .

Long Qingchen nodded, about to cry.

Shen Luo touched his cheek: "Don't cry, just be happy and wait for me to come back. I'm back to pick you up and the child."

Long Qingchen replied: "You have to be careful, you must pay attention to safety."

"Go!" Shen Luo sent him to change boats, looked at Qingchen standing at the stern looking at him, and held back his tears from falling.

He took out the flute at his waist, put it to his lips and blew out Sauvignon Blanc, and watched the fleet leave slowly.

The longing in Shen Luo's heart, just like the surging river and Luoying Lake, is lingering and endless.

In the 21st year of Qianyuan, on July [-], the sinking army arrived at the capital of the southwest, Xiyun City.

Two 10,000+ troops have gathered here, and 40 troops have been deployed on the front line for defense. After the follow-up [-] troops arrive, [-] troops will start a brilliant battle here.

Xiyun City is tall and tall, but it is surrounded by mountains. The style of the city tower is very frontier, and there is a southwestern style building on it.

Shen Luo's army settled in, looking at the first-tier urban area with a circumference of fifteen miles, Shen Luo could also feel the unusualness of Xiyun City.

This is the important town where Emperor Tianfeng frightened the southwest.

With a population of more than [-], it is a place where more than a dozen border tribes gather.

In the main town mansion, Shen Luo was waiting for news from Nie Xingfeng and the others.

They arrived here five days earlier, and they have already gone to Yunzhou, just waiting for Prince Qi to arrive.

The army that went out to inquire has been secretly collecting information about the enemy.

The two prefectures and nine counties at the front are surrounded by the enemy. This can be seen from the continuous influx of refugees from the southwest. All the refugees have been resettled backwards, and the four counties at the front have also begun to evacuate. .

"Strong walls and clear fields are the specifications for the biggest battle." Shen Luo looked at the map and said.

In the middle of the night, Nie Xingfeng arrived.

"What's the matter?" Shen Luo asked worriedly.

Nie Xingfeng shook his head: "My lord refuses to leave."

"Why?" Shen Luo was startled.

"He left Yunzhou's 4 defenders, and there are more than [-] civilians." Nie Xingfeng took out a letter: "He asked me to give it to you. In addition, he also asked about the death of the emperor. things."

Shen Luo took the letter, opened it and saw: "

Shen Luo my brother, see the words such as:

When you don't hurry and don't want to see each other again, you are already separated by hundreds of thousands of troops.The emperor's elder brother died of illness, and the throne can be secured. It is up to the younger brother to turn the tide, save the people from the fire and water, and help the building to collapse.Every time I think about the time when I met my younger brother, it is vivid in my mind, as if it was yesterday.

Life is short, and few people can look back.Brother can recommend you, it is really a blessing in life.Rushing the throne, there is nothing to regret, but the fierce enemy of the earth cannot be eradicated for the king, which is really a pity.

If the elder brother dies in battle, I ask the younger brother Mo to use his righteousness to do things, and plan it slowly to completely divide and eradicate the enemy army in Tuna.He promised to write a letter, telling him that he was waiting for the result. If Tata was defeated, he would negotiate peace with the king. If so, peace can be expected.

Junwen is too young to be an emperor, but his mind is pure and filial, and his character is kind.Brother Wang taught, so that he can inherit my throne, and the lineage of King Qi does not seek grandeur to the world, but seeks to serve the country and the people, and be clean in person.

Every time I think about it, there is always the sound of my brother in the misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River. It is a pity that I can no longer listen to the sounds of nature.Life is in a hurry, but there is an afterlife, and I will meet Jun Saran as a bosom friend.

I hope to tell my husband and heirs, thinking about it beyond words, hoping to cherish myself, if I have a spirit, I will definitely protect it.

Brother, Wen Hao kowtows. "

After reading the letter, Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief: "Order the army to start building the camp slowly tomorrow, and push it step by step, causing me to attack aggressively. The main force will stay in Xiyun City for preparations, and finally fight here."

"Aren't you going to attack?" Nie Xingfeng asked.

Shen Luo shook his head: "No, otherwise I will be trapped. Xiyun City is surrounded by mountains and forests. It is difficult for the enemy's cavalry to deploy at high places. If you defend the city, the enemy will lose after a long attack."

"This is a funnel shape, which is indeed suitable for annihilating the enemy." Nie Xingfeng said.

"You rest for one night, take this token, go to the northwest, ask Brother Lan to make the main attack, but let Jing Gongyun lead all the 15 cavalry of the Lanling Guards to detour behind and attack the enemy from behind, completely Annihilate the elite troops of the Tata Clan."

Nie Xingfeng took Shen Luo's golden phoenix token: "By the way, King Qi asked me to tell you that the Tata clan came this time with an army of 50."

Shen Luo nodded: "I have already found out."

"Then I'm leaving tonight, you have to be careful." Nie Xingfeng put away the token and said.

After Nie Xingfeng left, Shen Luo summoned the priest: "Go to Yunzhou once, and tell Prince Qi to defend slowly, there is no need to destroy the enemy too much, and it will be easy for the enemy to attack me when it is exhausted."

"Yes, Holy Master!" the priest replied.

Shen Luo stepped out of the mansion and looked at the bright moon in the sky: "I hope it will work."

The bright moon in the southwest is in the sky, which is the day when the moon is in the middle.

Southwest Guwei Street is full of small households.

The location is not bad, but it is hidden among many houses.

The capital of the Southwest has not lost its beauty because of the backward resettlement of refugees.

People's lives are still busy.

While Rong Xiaotang was busy, he brought back a large cart of grain.

Food is rising, and their family's savings are not much, so it still costs money for such a small amount of food.

"Rong Xiucai, this is going to stay at home." The neighbor Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"Didn't you buy half a car yesterday, and you laughed at me." Rong Xiaotang said with a smile: "If you have time to chat, come and help me move it!"

"Come on, I can say yes, if the well water in Qianjie becomes tense, you have to ask me to fetch water from your house!" Xiao Wu said.

"Don't worry, isn't it just well water? I didn't say that the food is not enough, and the well water is not enough." Rong Xiaotang smiled.

Xiao Wu has the strength to help him move the grain that has been rushed to the yard out of the car.

"Xiaotang, will you move after a while?" Chen said.

"It's okay, while the fifth brother is here, I'll hurry up. After a few days, it will be messy, and the food will not be safe. Put it in the cellar early, so feel at ease!" Rong Xiaotang said to his aunt arrive.

Xiao Wu took off his jacket and helped him carry the food bag: "Xiucai, that Han family really divorced you?"

Rong Xiaotang was taken aback for a moment: "That's right, we don't want to come and go because we think our family has been ruined, and their family is going to the south to take refuge!"

"Tsk tsk!" Xiao Wu sighed: "Didn't I hear that your uncle's family is very rich, so he won't help you anyway."

When Rong Xiaotang heard about the Long family, he didn't answer.

Shen Luo walked through the streets and alleys, there were no street signs here, so he had to let the yamen servant lead the way.

"Excuse me, is this the Rong Mansion?" Shen Luo asked.

Rong Xiaotang looked at him for a moment: "My lord, this place is called Rong, and it's not a mansion."

Shen Luo looked at him with his hands behind his back: "Are you Master Rong's son?"

Chen Shi looked at him: "You are?"

Shen Luo looked at Chen Shi: "I am Long Qingchen's husband."

"Qingchen, is he married?" Rong Xiaotang looked at the person in front of him. Their family had never been in contact with the Long family, and they didn't know about Long Qingchen's imperial seal. Xiaotang was busy with making a living almost every day, let alone paying attention to these things.

"Come and sit, come and sit." Chen said happily.

Please sit down in the hall, Shen Luo. Although the small hall is a bit old, the furniture is very clean. Even though the paint has faded, it is still shiny.

The priests put down the gifts, and the yamen servant looked at Shen Luo: "My lord, us?"

"Thank you for your hard work, go outside and watch!" Shen Luo waved his hand.

"Yes!" The yamen servants retreated one after another.

Rong Xiaotang was a little surprised when his neighbor Xiao Wu saw half of the yard gifts put down by his entourage.

"How is Qingchen?" Chen Shi asked.

"He's happy, he's being raised in Huzhou." Shen Luo said.

"Big brother bless." Chen couldn't help crying and said.

"Are you an official?" Rong Xiaotang looked at this brother-in-law curiously.

Shen Luo smiled: "Yes!"

"Then you are here to go to the southwest?" The neighbor Xiao Wu was also curious.

"It doesn't look like it?" Shen Luo looked at himself.

"No, you don't look like a great general!" Xiao Wu said, and Shen Luo rarely laughed.

"Uncle, why is life so difficult?" Shen Luo asked.

"Since his father left, our family's life is no longer good. Hey, fortunately Xiaotang passed the examination of scholar, but there is no money in the school anymore." Chen said with tears.

Shen Luo nodded: "Qingchen asked me to come to the southwest, and I must find you, but I didn't expect you to move. Fortunately, there is a new registration, otherwise it would be really hard to find."

"The former house was confiscated. If it wasn't for his father's death, our family would also be implicated. Speaking of which, Brother Long, hey, let's not talk about it." Chen sighed.

Shen Luo understood Longtu's injustice: "Don't worry, I will take care of you in the future."

"What kind of official position are you, are you a member?" Rong Xiaotang asked.

"It must be more than that. Look at the guards in the yard, they are all very generous, and I don't think so in the Shuai Mansion!" Xiao Wu said jokingly.

Shen Luo looked at them: "I am Taifu Shen Luo."

These words were like the wind blowing through the hall, blowing past without any ripples.

"Oh, Tai, Taifu?" The neighbor Xiao Wu jumped up first: "My God, Shen Taifu?"

"Don't you guys know that Qingchen was named Yingtian Lord by the emperor?" Shen Luo asked curiously.

"I don't know!" Rong Xiaotang shook his head.

"He is now a first-rank imperial order, Your Highness the Lord." Shen Luo said.

Chen Shi was taken aback: "This child?"

Shen Luo sighed: "It turns out that you didn't know about it all this time, and it's also our fault that we didn't contact you."

"You take these bank notes and this token. You can go to the commander-in-chief's mansion to meet me at any time. Now that the war is in chaos, don't change places first, so as not to be unsafe. I will send someone to protect you." Shen Luo took out three bank notes To Chen's.

"Thank you, uh!" Chen didn't know what to call them.

"Just call me Ah Luo!" Shen Luo said calmly.

"Okay, okay!" Chen Shi took the bank note.

Shen Luo left first, and Chen looked at the bank notes, three of which were 1 taels.

Looking at things in the yard is like having a dream.
